The PSTA Pinellas County Interlocal Agreement Review You Should Know Before You Vote
The PSTA/County Interlocal Agreement sets up the provisions to allow the transportation sales tax to stay in place for up to 90 years.
Beginning tomorrow Monday September 15, 2014 Dr. E. Eugene Webb presents a 20 Post Series reviewing the PSTA/Pinellas County Interlocal Agreement.
This Agreement approved by both the PSTA Board of Directors and the County Commission will go into effect if voters approve the Sales Tax Referendum.
It does not become a law as the actual Ballot referendum will, but the Interlocal Agreement takes effect immediately up on the certification of the vote should the GreenLight sales tax be approved.

The Inter local Agreement focuses on bonding, financing, redevelopment and the light rail train. It allows your tax dollars to be pledged to bonds for up to 50 years and renewals for 40 more years, allowing the tax to exist for 90 years.
